Tom Wilson laid a beating on Ian Cole tonight...oof!

Ryan Johanssen said in his post game interview that he was glad to have Cody McLeod back.......hopefully we see a little touch of nasty as we get closer to the playoffs

Chayka is going to regret moving Strome

 

[Loosie]

32 games since Laine's 5 goal game against St. Louis. He's had 6 in those 32 games. He was at 19 goals in 21 GP at that point. He's now 25 G in 53 GP.

I wonder where we would be in the standings if the refs were being fair and we weren't near the bottom of the league in PP opportunities. I want to see where we rank in PP goals and PP opportunities, lol.

• we rank #31 in PP opportunity
• we rank #23 in PP goals
• 
  
• we are the least penalized team
• we rank #26 in PK goals against

So we must play the most 5 vs 5 minutes in the league, refs basically put there whistle in there pockets when we play.

Regular season doesn't matter. That stat in the playoffs is gold when there are little penalties.

If the Leafs that don’t have thepuck didn’t stand around so much on offence they’d draw more penalties.

Carolina is putting their GM in a pickle.

Let's hope the refs still call a fair game in the playoffs if we're getting the least amount of PP opportunities during the regular season. I can't believe with our speed that we're not getting more obstruction penalties called against the opposition.

TBH with how the whistles get put away in the playoffs, it's kind of good to see the Leafs get used to these types of tight low PP opportunity games ... if they can just figure out the PP and how to use those limited chances, they'll be in good shape.

Of course they'll probably call everything in the first round and the Leafs will get a ton of opportunities

 

[notDatsyuk]

Physical play is usually what draws penalties, so it's no surprise we draw the fewest. More surprising is how many people watch the games, and still don't understand that, and blame the refs.

Physical play is usually what gets penalized, so it's also no surprise we take the fewest. Less surprising is how people seem to accept that.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Something needs to happen in Anaheim. They’re now down 4-1 to Philly. 35 goals against in their last 7 games.

western conf. is a mess.
The Western Conference is an absolute tire fire

the Pacific contenders look better than the central ones. Winnipeg especially doesn't impress me much this year

 

[Al14]

The Jets are not flying so high against the Sens so far today. Down 2-0 after 1!

Really and what does not impress you about the Jets ? If they can add a good C at the TDL, I like their chances of going to the SC final.

Lots of time for a Jets comeback but I doubt they panic even if they lose. They are 1 point up on Nashville with 2 games in hand. Jets are a serious contender.

that's a big if. Little as their 2nd best center doesn't inspire confidence. their play has also been pretty poor at 5v5
